Dobson Excavations offers digger hire services. Our range of diggers are of different weights and can be used for different functions. For instance;
Construction projects can easily exceed their budgets when the wrong equipment is used because it will take longer and the possibility of unnecessary wear and tear on the machinery is high, especially when a lighter digger is used in place of a heavier one.
Besides the weight of the diggers, it is critical to consider the job site. How big is it? Does it have access restrictions? Is there enough space for diggers to move around or will operators face challenges digging and moving materials? The answers to these questions will help Dobson Excavations to determine the best digger hire for your project.
For example, a 6-ton digger could be used for the project, but if there are existing infrastructure and accessibility challenges, this digger will be of no use to you. In this case, alternatives such as the compact digger or attachments with long reach arms for some of the tasks.
Dobson Excavations has a variety of digger attachments, including different types and sizes of buckets, augers, rock hammer, and compaction plates. Our team will look at the various tasks and see how best to pair the diggers and attachments to reduce the number of machines on the site, and subsequently help you to work within your budget.
The soil composition will also influence the type of attachment you use. For example, excavating a site with sticky clay soil can be tricky because the soil tends to stick on inside and at the back of the bucket. This makes it difficult for the digger to work efficiently, even when doing simple tasks like trenching. The solution to this problem is using a spade bucket attachment.
Diggers have enough stability and tenacity to go up steep slopes. However, our experienced operators will also determine if it is safe or alternative methods, such as the use of long-arm attachments is the best option.

Matching the digger to the job
This is one of the critical issues you need to consider when coming up with the budget for the project. Heavier diggers are designed to handle more complex projects, and they cost more to hire and run.Construction projects can easily exceed their budgets when the wrong equipment is used because it will take longer and the possibility of unnecessary wear and tear on the machinery is high, especially when a lighter digger is used in place of a heavier one.

Consider the scale of the project.
When hiring a digger, you need to consider all the jobs you expect the digger to undertake. A large project being undertaken on an expansive space may require more equipment than a small landscaping job. Looking at the scale of the project will help you determine the various types of diggers you need. Sometimes, you may not need to hire many diggers, but instead, ask for various attachments.Dobson Excavations has a variety of digger attachments, including different types and sizes of buckets, augers, rock hammer, and compaction plates.

The Site location, soil composition, and land geography
Safety and efficiency are some of the things you need to consider when choosing a digger. Much as the condition of the digger matters, the site also plays a critical role. For example, if the soil is slippery or not compact enough, if you choose a wheeled digger, you might have trouble working the site because the wheels will either keep sinking into the ground because of the weight exerted on them. In this case, a crawler skid digger is ideal.The soil composition will also influence the type of attachment you use. For example, excavating a site with sticky clay soil can be tricky because the soil tends to stick on inside and at the back of the bucket. This makes it difficult for the digger to work efficiently, even when doing simple tasks like trenching. The solution to this problem is using a spade bucket attachment.

out if there are local restrictions.
Diggers, much as they are necessary for construction, can be a nightmare for existing infrastructure because of its weight and noise. This is why local authorities have policies regarding their transportation to job sites and the necessity of authorization because they are used in residential areas. Each locality has its rules regarding the use of diggers, so you need to find out what permits you need before the project commences.
